I do not run any windows in bhyve as bhyve can not run the
windows I use due to missing/broken ATA support.
The person I was helping with bhyve windows regression tests has
become unavaliable.

Can you point to this some place? My understanding is that
MFC is at the discretion of the committer, and the only
thing the big list of rules says:
6. Changes go to FreeBSD-CURRENT before FreeBSD-STABLE unless
specifically permitted by the release engineer or unless they
are not applicable to FreeBSD-CURRENT. Any non-trivial or
non-urgent change which is applicable should also be allowed
to sit in FreeBSD-CURRENT for at least 3 days before merging
so that it can be given sufficient testing.
I am making a wide call for testing, above and beyond the
normal process already. I am also about to pull this back
to my own 11.1 systems to ensure that I spot any merge
problems and if need be attach an 11.1 and 11/stable patch
to the diffential.
There is also a call for testing going out at byhvecon,
and there has already been a year to test on this,
though perhaps not in final form, at least in functional
form.
